Belgian footballer Jonathan Legear will face court and be banned from driving
for two weeks after driving his sports car into a petrol station shop,
injuring one customer.

Security video shows Legear's Porsche crashing through the glass doors of the shop in the Belgian town of Tongeren, and ramming through several stalls of food and drinks before stopping at the cash register and forcing customer Jeffrey Dewallef to jump to avoid the car.

Court spokesman Michel Zegers said that the midfielder, who plays for Russian club Terek Grozny and made two appearances for Belgium in 2010, would be charged with involuntary assault and, possibly, intoxication.

Zegers says there is no reason to prevent Legear from returning to Grozny "as long as he does not drive there himself."

Through his lawyer, Legear said he apologizes to all who "have been directly or indirectly affected by what happened."

"I will accept the consequences of the accident according to the law," his statement said. He denied he was severely drunk.
